Which weight class makes more sense for Rashad?
Personally I think he should consider 185. He used to fight at heavyweight but clearly he is not really that big. And he is not that tall either and with some strict dieting I bet he could get down to 185. It would make for some new and exciting middleweight matchups also.

I never wanted him to move down to middleweight either because he's done great at light heavyweight. If Jones does take the title though, it would definitely be best for him to move down because I know he wants to compete for a title and the heavyweight title is out of his reach I think. Rashad would instantly become a top contender in the middleweight division.

I think he should stay at 205. He's perfect there.

I could see him going to 185 once Silva is gone. I think Alan Belcher will be good here shortly.. but it is a weak division where he can go and use that speed and strength he has to overwhelm people.
He does not have very powerful hands in the LHW division but in middleweight he will be used to taking shots from bigger guys and I think would do very well.

But to continue playing the devils advocate, i think MW would be more realistic than HW, i think it would require a lot of cut, but who knows we've seen crazier cuts before, hes not the tallest LHW anyway.

I want Rashad to go up to HW for just one reason so he gets ripped in half by either lesnar or carwin. Other than my personal beef with Evans I gotta say he would do best at MW.
